Solitude Standing (1987)[edit]

at the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
for the man to pour the coffee
and he fills it only halfway
and before I even argue
he is looking out the window
at somebody coming in.- Tom's Diner

there's the story of an actor
who had died while he was drinking,
it was no one I had heard of.- Tom's Diner

Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight,
Just don't ask me what it was.- Luka

After that, you don't ask why.- Luka
